The ability to tell the entire world what you feel or think is dizzying. 'How should I phrase this?' 'Do I include that?' 'Is this oversharing?' So many doubts are lurking around that share button.
But believe it or not, some people are immune to them. They post every thought that crosses their mind. And they can be anyone! Parents complaining about their kids, high schoolers "analyzing" political discourse, celebrities interacting with fans, or everyday folks venting about their lives; we can't keep count.
Here's a collection of tweets from people who decided to get personal online. Too personal!

The staff at CollegeGrad, an entry-level job site for college students and recent grads, believe there are at least 9 things you should never post on social media.
1. Profanity. The language you use on social media is often the same one you'll use when casually interacting with coworkers. A minor four-letter-word once in a while isn't a crime, but if swearing is a big part of who you are, it may affect how employers look at you.
2. Abusive content. Social media can be a great place to share opinions, but if your feed is full of arguments and rants, you may come across as an overly negative person, probably not the kind of employee companies want in their office.
3. Adult content. A snapshot on the beach is perfectly fine but posting explicit photos of yourself can have a noticeable impact on your image. The Internet is a public place. So, before posting a selfie, consider if you are OK with being seen like that in the office.

I Love That Life Makes Sense For Him Now
4. Illegal content. Not only could this get you fired, but it may also land you on America's Stupidest Criminals. Even worse, you could be arrested if authorities see credible evidence of certain kinds of illegal activity.
5. Offensive content. Racism, sexism, and other forms of discrimination should have no place in your (online) life.
6. Negative opinions about your job, employer, boss, or professor. One comment about how you hate your job could cause future employers to wonder if you really like the work you are doing or not. And a comment about your "stupid boss" could make your next conversation about the raise you were hoping to get a lot more difficult.
7. Drug-related content. Some employers may require you to pass a drug test as a hiring condition. But chances are you won't even make it that far if you post about substances publicly.

Wait! You Guys Got A Tutorial?!
Yep,she's Right
8. Poor grammar. A comma here and there is nothing but if you don't know the difference between "your" and "you're", it's time to learn. Communication, including writing, is an important part of professional life.
9. Threats. It is not OK to threaten others, no matter the situation you're in. Wishing someone ill, whether it is a friend, family member, colleague, politician, celebrity, whatever; if you don't like someone else, social media is not the place to be hurling threats of any kind.
The Internet is public. Remember that when you're posting from your personal account.

But then you don't get those beautiful soggyish nachos with the melted cheese stuck to them. Plus, you won't have the excuse of "They were all stuck together" when you are caught stuffing 9 nachos in your face hole!

I don't think I've ever felt more connected to a complete stranger before.
I've been waiting on somebody brave enough to say this. No more naked chips in the nacho pile !
It's all about even layers. I like the mountain of nachos if it's nacho, toppings, cheese, repeat.
Yaaay! This is how they're supposed to be served!

I make nachos in layers. Doritos, Mexican seasoned mince, salsa, cheese and repeat. Pretty much like a lasagne.
Me: I cant have nachos for about a month dance with me braces gang. *silence* Me: Nobody? *balloons deflate* *someone yells "train tracks"* *someone coughs* me: ok
I don’t have braces but i will make actual train tracks to run over those aśsholes and make an IOU so you can have nachos when you get your braces off

My wife makes nachos on a baking sheet. Even layer of chips, put on the hot toppings, pop in the oven -boom. You're life is now forever changed.
Ha ha ha ha brilliant! I stand with you JRGin in your quest to disrupt the current nachos serving system.
Oh God yes. That is how I make my nachos at home - ensuring every single chip gets its fair share of topping.
Just like mom made, on a cookie sheet, no overlapping chips, and each one had every topping! They got oven baked. I requested that at restaurants with mindless results.
True! Or at least layer, cook, re-layer. Next level, use your favourite Doritos instead of regular tortilla chips.
Also, cut bacon strips in bite size peices in sandwiches and burgers - signed my condiment stained shirt.
Yeah, can't use the straw trick for nachos like you can for popcorn and even butter distribution.
Wait y’all eat nachos with toppings? I just throw some cheese on chips and microwave them…
I saw somewhere once a mom putting tinfoil over a long dinning table and doing just that.
How about this: Large bowl of nachos + Large bowl of toppings, pour into an even larger bowl and mix until thoroughly coated and combined
Well, Do They?

Why is your political affiliation so important to Americans? Are there no people that just don't like any of them? That think, I'll listen to what they say and vote for the person that seems to have the best ideas to me? Nobody that thinks, 'I agree with the Dems on that subject, but disagree with the other thing. And I like the Reps idea on this, but not on that'?

Truly A Yearly Highlight
When I was 7, I lost a tooth. I put it under my pillow for the tooth fairy. The next morning I found a $20 bill under my pillow. I rushed in to the kitchen and said "The tooth fairy gave me 20 bucks!!" My mother looked at my Dad and said "Wow...the tooth fairy was generous!" To which my Dad responds "Probably because it was dark and the tooth fairy couldn't see what he was pulling out of his wallet."

Its so weird how Magic Mike is literally a movie about male strippers, yet they still managed to sexualise women/treat women as somewhat of a joke (i.e. its 'funny' but not threatening to see middle-aged women losing it over male strippers), all the while still portraying the men as dominant and strong

My gf found a lost phone once, which of course was locked, and we were sitting there wondering what to do with it when it rang and it was the owner's mother. So if you lose your phone, try phoning it, as some nice person may have found it and be trying to work out how best to return in.
